St John Britto Catholic Church (20 December 2008)


St John Britto Catholic Church is a Roman Catholic church along Jalan Sungai Pinang. It caters to a parish that comprises mostly working-class Indians living in the area.

The St John Britto Catholic Church was established in 1969 by Monsignor Ignatius John Aloysius with help from Father François Felix Faure from the College General. It was named after a Catholic saint from India.

In 1988, the Parish of St John Britto was merged with the Our Lady of Sorrows Parish, the St Francis Xavier Parish and the Assumption Parish to form the City Parish, with its secretariat based at the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
